Quoters may not communicate with County employees or representatives about the RFQ during the procurement process until the Procurement office has notified Quoters of the selected Quoter.

SCOPE The purpose of this RFQ is to purchase services for Diesel Tank Mold Removal for Water Environment Services ( WES ) at various locations around Clackamas County. This project will ensure the stored fuel for WES s sixteen (16) standby generators at various locations are in good condition for use in an emergency. Fuel that is stored for long periods can become stale and develop mold growth in the tanks and in the sitting fuel. The mold growth can cause reliability issues with diesel motors being able to run when we need them. WES has not had this done in the past so the severity of issues at all sites is presently unknown. Issues have been reported at the Riverstreet Pump Station, so it is the basis for starting this project. This project will entail sampling of the fuel and developing a treatment plan to take care of each site. Killing the growth within the tanks, circulating fuel and filtering it to remove contaminates. Resampling the fuel to assure it is in good condition, and top off the tanks when done. RFQ Diesel Tank Mold Removal 1
